looking at the cut outs make me wonder I at some point a firm will have screw in inserts for various configurations? High wind with smaller fin no inserts, then in lighter winds inserts with larger fins?
^^^ Would not be hard to mould them, with a bolt thru from above like a fin.
I am wondering how a shorter and wider board creates a longer section of parallel rails in the centre.
It does quite the opposite

Patrick boards have been doing this for years, There are two carbon plates and 2 plastic blocks and a couple of screw holes at each insert. Seem to work pretty well.

I think you'll find F2 has been doing it a lot longer than patrick....
patrick looks like they are exactly the same as F2 from about ten yrs ago....same shape....same cut outs.....same screw channel panels....same construction, very light and stiff.....just heaps worse graphics......
Same designer!!!
The simple reason for that is that Patrik Diethelm the owner and designer of Patrik boards was the F2 slalom shaper during the last few good years of F2.
